and wheezes, put an ALLcocK's Porous PLAs-
TER ON the chest and Que between the shoulder

coughs or coughs of any kind, place the Plaster
close up round the throat; the soothing effect is
apparent almost always in two hours. If they
have disordered stomach, Plaster placed just
below the chest bones makes digestion perfect in

\ TEMPLE OF SERPENTs. Ts.-The small town
OF Werda, in the kingdom of Dahomey, is
celebrated for its Temple Of Serpents, long
building III which the priests keep upward
of 1000 serpeDts of all sexes, which they
feed with the frogs and birds brought to
them as offerings by the natives. These
serpents, many OF them OF enormous size.
may be seen hanging from the beams across
the ceiling with their heads hanging down
ward and in al sorts of strange contortions.
The priests make the small serpents so
through various evolutions by lightly touch
Ing Them with 6 rod, but they do not
venture to touch the larger ones, some of
which are big enough TO enfold q bullock in
their coils 1t often happens that some of
these serpents make their way out of the
temple into the towr, and the priests have
the greatest difficulty in cosxing them back.
TO kill erpentintentionally is q crime pun
shed with death and ifa European were
to kill oue the authority Of the King himself
would scarcely suffice to save his life. ANY one
killing serpent unintentionally must in
form the priest OF what has occurred, and go

EVILS OF WATER. DRINKING Henry

macule will grow and thrive on the inside

swallowed it until it feeds upon his Vitals
and exhausts his health and strength. The
victim wonders why be or she feels so much
discomfort in the stomach, loses all appetite
for food or else grows ravenous, tee!S ner-

dence I have myself known young girl
who died apparently and remained cold and

inches long, appeared, A French doctor,
who had attended 30 the case, was fortu-
nately present, and drew the reptile out with
his fingers. After brief interval, the ex.
nausted girl began TO shudder, then opened
her eyes and was thus rescued from being
buried alive. / heard tho story nos only

living in the Crazy mountains caught u
young beaver soon after its birth and car
ried it to his cabin, where he gradually
made great pet of it. AS the youngster
approached maturity he got to building

his cabin floor divided by dam that reach

of which were irewood, boots, articles OF
clothing and other movable articles IN the
house that could be reached Or transported.
To add to the confusion, basin or bucket
